New Molecules Engineered for Performance

In collaboration with the USDA, Biosynthetic Technologies has patented a new class of ester molecules that make biobased synthetic motor oils and lubricants a reality. In engine testing, our synthetic oils have proven to make engines run cleaner and last longer, and provide better fuel economy. This is where high performance and sustainability converge.

The Dawn of Biosynthetics

Sustainable base oils from Biosynthetic Technologies are engineered from organic oils found in plants - protecting the environment and benefiting the economy.

High Performance Renewable Motor Oil

Synthetic motor oil ingredients engineered to outperform most petroleum-based products available on the market. Major motor oil manufacturers call it the future. The American Petroleum Institute calls it certified. You'll call it the best high performance crankcase oil you've ever used.

Silent Oil Spills™

Over 500 million gallons of used motor oil and other lubricant oils are quietly dumped in the world's oceans each year - the equivalent of an oil tanker-sized spill every single week. How do we remedy this? The solution is to start with motor oil that is biodegradable, renewable, nontoxic and recyclable. Welcome to a cleaner world.

New Developments

9003 Phase 1 Approval for $100 Million

$100 million in USDA loan guarantee funding has been reserved for Biosynthetic Technologies under the Biorefinery, Renewable Chemical, and Biobased Product Manufacturing Assistance Program. Upon funding, construction of a full-scale commercial manufacturing facility will proceed."

Field Trial Successfully Completed

3.05% Fuel Economy Gain

The fuel economy attributes of Biosynthetic Base Oil are demonstrated by the results of a recent Mercedes Benz M111 Fuel Economy Test in which a Biosynthetic SAE 5W-30 motor oil formulation achieved a 3.05% fuel economy gain compared to the industry reference oil.

BioPreferred Certification

Biosynthetic Base Oil is biodegradable, non-toxic and non-bioaccumulative meeting base oil standards of the U.S. EPA’s Environmentally Acceptable Lubricants (EALs). It’s also renewable. We’re pleased to be on the USDA’s BioPreferred List, where motor oil was recently featured as the product category of the month.
